  • SET THIS PORT_2_TOPOLOGY=FABRIC

  • SET OTHER PORT_2_TOPOLOGY=FABRIC
These values can be checked using the following commands:

Note: The HP MA and EMA systems support LUN masking that is configured with the SET unit number ENABLE_ACCESS_PATH command. When used with the Storwize V3500 system, the access path must be set to all (SET unit number ENABLE_ACCESS_PATH=ALL). All LUN masking must also be handled exclusively by the Storwize V3500 system. You can use the SHOW CONNECTIONS FULL command to check access rights.
